About Attica Font Family


Attica is a striking slab typeface, characterised by its inverted contrast, which pays homage to the elegance of Caslon's Italian type and the boldness of Aldo Novarese's Estro.

Inspired by the charm of wood typefaces, the creation of Attica began with a vision to revive the timeless appeal of traditional letterpress printing. Each letter of the alphabet was meticulously crafted using a flat, long brush, infusing the typeface with a sense of artisanal authenticity and handcrafted finesse. As the design process unfolded, the complete character set emerged, reflecting a harmonious balance between historical influence and contemporary design sensibilities.

One of Attica's defining features is its extensive collection of icons and dingbats, adding versatility and creative potential to any design project. Whether conveying a message or enhancing visual storytelling, these graphical elements offer a wealth of expressive possibilities, further enriching the typographic experience.

Attica is available in three distinct versions: regular, rounded, and rough, each offering a unique aesthetic appeal to suit diverse design needs. The regular variant exudes a timeless elegance, while the rounded version softens the edges, imbuing the typeface with a playful charm. On the other hand, the rough rendition adds a touch of rugged authenticity, evoking the tactile feel of aged woodblock printing.

With its versatile design and rich heritage, Attica stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of typographic craftsmanship. Whether used in editorial layouts, branding collateral, or digital interfaces, Attica offers designers a powerful tool to elevate their creative expressions and captivate audiences with its distinctive charm and character.
